H. ‘Look See’

Overview

Registered in 1980 by P. Aden, this medium-sized hosta is a hybrid of *Hosta* 'Royal Rainbow'. It is visually distinctive for its variegated foliage, which features streaked margins on leaves that reach 9 inches (22.9 cm) in length and 6 inches (15.2 cm) in width, with six pairs of veins.

In the Garden

This cultivar forms a clump 32 inches (81.3 cm) in diameter and 24 inches (61.0 cm) in height, with scapes rising to 36 inches (91.4 cm). It performs best in partial to full shade, typical for hostas, and is suitable for mid-border positions or as a specimen plant in woodland gardens. Its medium size makes it adaptable for pairing with ferns, heucheras, or other shade-tolerant perennials.

Care Notes

Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Slugs and deer may damage foliage; monitor and manage as needed in typical hosta-growing zones.
